22 WINNETKA TALK November 28, 1925 "Jazz Opera" Replaced by Japanese Production Although the W. Franke Harling opera, "A Light from St Agnes", was scheduled as next of the season's nov- elties to be given production by the Chicago Civic Opera company, the "Saxaphone Jazz opera" is very likely to be sidetracted in favor of Aldo Franchetti's "Namiko San" in which the charming Japanese soprano, Mme. Tamaki Miura, returns to the ranks of stellar Chicago singers. Strange as it may appear, certain similarities in requirements between "A Light From St Agnes" and "Die Walkeure" caused rehearsals of the former to be abandoned until the Wagnerian re- vival is made. In the interim rehear- sals of the Japanese opera are going forward. Present schedules are prom- ised on the assumption that the Fran- chetti opera will be sung on Friday, December 11; and the Harling work Wednesday, December 16. "Die Wal- keure" will be pushed out of the way of both on Thursday night, December 3, leaving a free way for the novelities that are to be sung in English, inclu- ding the two works named. Mrs. Walter F. Shattuck, 338 Kenil- worth avenue, entertained her bridge club for luncheon Tuesday. | fore eil LL HE Summer Comfort for All the Year HERE will be cozy, even warmth in every room of this house, no matter how the mercury may drop, or how keen the blizzard blows.
